Every war carries within it the war which will answer it. Every war is answered by a new war, until everything, everything is smashed.

To this day I do not know whether the power which has inspired my works is something related to religion, or is indeed religion itself.

I have never been able to carry out any work coolly. On the contrary it is done, so to speak, with my own blood. Anyone who looks at my works must be able to sense that.

Bisexuality is almost a necessary factor in artistic production; at any rate, the tinge of masculinity within me helped me in my work.

Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon?

Every war carries within it the war which will answer it. Every war is answered by a new war, until everything, everything is smashed.

It seems to me nowadays that the most important task for someone who is aging is to spread love and warmth whenever possible.
